Alex Chilton. You know even if you don’t know him. Know the song “The Letter” by the Box Tops?
Gimme a letter for an areo-plane / ain’t got time to make a fast train / lonely days are gone / I’ma coming home / my baby, she wrote me a letter
That was Alex at 16. Later he was the guitarist and co-lead singer of Big Star whose song “September Gurls” was later covered by the Bangles. Big Star were highly influential in the development of Southern jangle pop that would eventually find international acceptance in bands like R.E.M. and others. Here’s a mp3 of what Alex has been up to in the last few years. Enjoy the download and check back again for more mp3s!
